Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Even if Zhou Chengjing explained everything clearly in the end, others would only think that he lied on purpose for the sake of Prince Qi's face.

So only she can hold this jade hairpin.

Things are back to square one.

Song Jiayi also lost some patience, "If Miss Meng insists on doing this, then I can only report it to the police."

"can."

No one expected that Meng Xiyue would agree without hesitation.

But Princess Zhaohua disagreed. In her opinion, it was Meng Xiyue who stole Song Jiayi's jade hairpin. If it was reported to the government, then everyone in the world would know about it.

Do you still want to save the face of Prince Qi's Mansion?

"Meng Xiyue, please return it to your cousin."

"I want to get off the boat and report to the authorities."

Meng Xiyue didn't want to say anything more. Since she couldn't explain it clearly, she would report it to the police.

"you…"

Zhaohua was a little angry. Meng Xiyue didn't give her any face at all.

"Then let's get off the boat as Miss Meng wishes."

Seeing that she was not listening, Song Jiayi also got angry.

Xie Junyi and Song Zhiyan, who had just landed, were puzzled to see the luxurious ship also docked.

"Aren't they going to the farm in front to have lunch? Why are they coming down at this time?"

"Go and see."

Xie Junyi felt a little uneasy and walked over quickly.

Princess Zhaohua was the first to see the two of them. She quickly called out, "Royal brother."

"To His Royal Highness Prince Qi, the Crown Prince greets you."

The ladies bowed quickly.

"What happened."

Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Xie Junyi asked hurriedly, looking at Meng Xiyue and looking her up and down.

When Meng Xiyue saw him, she felt aggrieved and her tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, which made Xie Junyi's heart ache.

"Cousin, this is the jade hairpin Yi An gave me. It's gone. Miss Meng has an identical one."

Song Jiayi explained carefully.

"What do you mean they are exactly the same? It's obviously the princess's. You took it, but you still refuse to admit it."

One of the young ladies jeered in dissatisfaction, saying that a good time on the lake was ruined by someone, and everyone was a little dissatisfied.

The evidence is clearly conclusive, but Meng Xiyue is still stubborn and refuses to admit it.

"This one originally belonged to me." Meng Xiyue choked. She couldn't produce any evidence now, but she couldn't let others slander her just because of her humble status.

"Royal brother, my cousin has already said that as long as Sister Yue returns the jade hairpin, she will pretend that nothing happened. We are all family here, and no one will spread the news."

Princess Zhaohua said, "But Sister Yue disagreed and insisted on reporting it to the authorities."

No matter what the result is, reporting to the police is the worst option. Those present are all well-known ladies, so who would be willing to go to court?

"If it wasn't because this is a token of love between Yi An and I, it wouldn't matter if I didn't want it, but..."

Song Jiayi didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant. This jade hairpin was not expensive, but it meant a lot to her.

Xie Junyi's face was gloomy, "I know you won't steal the jade hairpin."

His words made Meng Xiyue happy. He was willing to believe her, but before she could say anything, she heard him say it again.

"Give the jade hairpin to Jiayi first. I will investigate the truth of the matter."

"What do you mean?" Meng Xiyue was stunned. "You don't believe me either?"

"I believe you. Someone must have framed you for this. If you like this jade hairpin, I will give you another 100. This one is different for Jiayi, so give it to her first."

Xie Junyi's words struck Meng Xiyue like a bolt of lightning. Did he believe her?

Maybe, but what he cares most about is his own face. He wants to make a big thing small, and let her swallow the grievance.

Or maybe he didn't believe her at all.

No matter which one it was, she couldn't accept it.

Meng Xiyue held the jade hairpin tightly and looked at everyone present. "This jade hairpin is mine. I won't give it to anyone else."

After saying that, Meng Xiyue threw the jade hairpin, and it hit the pillar beside her and shattered.

"I am of humble status, but I am not someone you can bully at will."

After saying that, Meng Xiyue left without looking back. Seeing this, Qianxiang hurriedly followed.

"Royal brother." Zhao Hua didn't expect Meng Xiyue's attitude to be so tough. She felt vaguely that maybe they had done something wrong.

Xie Junyi said with a gloomy face, "Ziye, send someone to investigate and get to the bottom of this matter."

It’s not that he didn’t trust Meng Xiyue, but there were so many people around and he couldn’t lose face for Song Jiayi.

In his opinion, it was just a lily, not a big deal.

Thinking of the look Meng Xiyue had just given him, he felt an infinite fear in his heart.

But he was a prince, and after being slapped in the face by Meng Xiyue in public, he couldn't bring himself to pursue her.

He just winked at the guards around him.

Song Jiayi picked up the broken jade hairpin with heartache and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Jiayi."

Song Zhiyan understood how much she cherished the jade hairpin, and as her brother, he was also a little angry when he saw her being bullied like that.

"Your Majesty, you must give Jiayi an explanation for this matter. That woman is really too much. You can't be partial to her."

"Let's wait until the matter is fully investigated."

"What is there to investigate? How could Jiayi not recognize the token of love between her and Yi'an? Moreover, there are witnesses and evidences. She is clearly quibbling. She even got angry and destroyed the jade hairpin. It's really abominable."

Song Zhiyan felt that he had never seen such a rude woman.

"You still don't believe me? I said I would give you an explanation."

Xie Junyi couldn't suppress his anger, and there was a sinister look in his eyes.

Song Zhiyan wanted to say something, but was pulled by Song Jiayi, "Brother, I'm fine, let's go back home first."

Song Zhiyan nodded, said nothing more, and left with Song Jiayi.

Seeing this, the other ladies also took their leave.

Liang Yingxue and Wang Lingjiao looked at each other and felt a little scared.

It was just a small matter, could it be that the prince really wanted to investigate it thoroughly? They were a little nervous, wondering what they would do if they were found out.

At this moment, Wang Lingjiao felt a little regretful that she was bewitched by Liang Yingxue and did this.

But everything has been done, and we can only pray that the prince won’t find out anything.

After everyone had left, Zhao Hua said, "Brother Huang, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of Sister Yue."

Although Zhaohua calls Meng Xiyue "sister", Meng Xiyue is one year younger than her, so it is normal for her to have a temper.

Therefore, she felt a little guilty because she was the one who brought the person here, but she didn't take good care of him.

"It has nothing to do with you. She is just too stubborn."

In fact, a jade hairpin was not a big deal, but Meng Xiyue couldn't stand the injustice, so it turned out like this.

"But my royal brother, Sister Jiayi didn't wrongly accuse her. There was only one jade hairpin, so how could there be two that are exactly the same?"

Princess Zhaohua still felt that Meng Xiyue was lying.
